Before Star Wars<\/em>, most science fiction films opted for shiny spaceships and gleaming gadgets. But George Lucas wanted his \u201cgalaxy far, far away\u201d to have a history – one mostly unknown to the audience, but visible. He wanted vehicles, tech, weapons, even clothing to look (borrowing Luke\u2019s words to C-3PO) as though they\u2019d \u201cseen a lot of action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> returned to this \u201cused universe\u201d aesthetic. The X-wing pilot\u2019s helmet Rey salvaged on the backwater, battle-scarred world of Jakku is a perfect example.<\/p>\n

Stained and scorched, its once proud colors fading, the helmet is past its prime. But despite its poor condition, it\u2019s one of Rey\u2019s most prized possessions. She\u2019ll wear it after long days of scouring spaceship wrecks and imagine what life was like for the Rebel Alliance\u2019s high-flying heroes.<\/p>\n

The prop replica masters at ANOVOS Productions have recreated Rey\u2019s salvaged X-wing pilot helmet <\/a>in exacting detail. Fashioned from sturdy ABS plastic and adjustable for maximum comfort, the helmet sports the insignia of the Tierfon Yellow Aces. This crack starfighter squadron counted among its members such pilots as Jek Porkins (killed in action over the first Death Star after joining Red Squadron) and this helmet\u2019s owner, Captain Dosmit R\u00e6h, whose last name is emblazoned on its sides in scraped and chipped blue Aurebesh characters.<\/p>\n

Based on digital scans of the prop used on screen, this replica helmet is painted to match the original in every way. Its interior is fully lined and includes two comlink booms and earcup cushions. It comes fully assembled, complete with attached visor.<\/p>\n

So far, neither we nor Rey knows much about Captain R\u00e6h. But according to Rey\u2019s Survival Guide<\/em>, Rey enjoyed making up stories about who the captain was and what world she came from. Maybe she even named herself after the pilot, and her true name awaits revelation. But we can infer from her helmet\u2019s battered appearance that Captain R\u00e6h fought hard for freedom.<\/p>\n

It only looks worse for wear. Like any collectible you get from Entertainment Earth, this helmet will reach you in guaranteed mint condition. Claim your salvaged helmet prop replica<\/a> now, and get ready to make up your own exciting stories about the epic struggle against the Empire!<\/p>\n
